Brake prob

Sounds like a bad master. You must be leaking fluid somewhere. FC's have problems with the master, I have never heard of a slave in a caliper going bad on the FC.
Check your lines. Look for fresh fluid. The system is not that complex (that is the good thing) so it cant be that difficult to figure out.

This car doesn't have ABS, correct? If you are not leaking fluid then you have air in the system.
Make double sure about bleeding and no leaking fluid because those are pretty much the only possible causes.

It's for when you completely rebuild or drain the rear calipers.
I just got done putting and bleeding the rebuilts i did on the car last weekend. I bled the bottom first so i could get pressure quickly and then bled the top to get the last little bit of air out. Worked a treat.
I had a problem where my brakes had no pressure at all or required a shitload of pedal effort to stop, even after a bleed, it felt like i didn't have very much pressure.
The cause? Well my piston boots/seals had probably never been serviced a day in their life. All the protective grease wasn't there any more and some of the pistons had seized in their bores due to surface rust.
Your issue sounds like the brake master. Buy a new one. That's what generates the pressure required to push fluid into the calipers and extend the pistons towards the pads/rotors. Even if you can push fluid out of the bleeders, the bmc could still be the issue because the seals could be allowing alot of that pressure to blow past them.

I bleed both my rear brakes but the driver side works normal and the pass. doesn't work at all even when i pull up the hand brake the rotor still spins on the pass. side.
Is it my caliper thats messed up?

Are you experienced?

You can check if your caliper is seized by removing it and leaving the brake line connected to it. Have someone pump the brakes (carefully, if done too much the piston can come out of the caliper). If it moves out easily it is not seized, however if it moved and you heard clunking noises coming from it, it probably is best to replace it.... Double check your bleeding and make sure you did it properly could easily be air in the system...
Also, if you are just testing it with the hand brake, your parking brake cable could be seized and making you think your caliper isn't working. Try having someone step on the brakes while the rear tires are up, if you can still move it with the wheels in the air, check my above advice.
